I live in an appartment, and I dont want people using my wireless internet... I tried setting up WEP...this is so you need a password right? I put in what I wanted it to be, and when I tried to log in to the network, it said my password was wrong... I guarntee it wasnt. Whats going on? I had to reset my router to get back on.

Thanks
 
If it's a Linksys like my WRT54G, you enter a passphrase, then hit "Generate", then see 4 keys. You'll choose which key to use by default (above the passphrase entry). That key is what you enter as a password elsewhere - and, yes, it's long.

Interference Robustness?

What is Interference Robustness? It is an option on the pull down menu when you go wireless.... I dont have it checked... until now I did, and I dont see any difference... what does it do?
Thanks
 
What I do is just set up the MAC filter, just put your MAC in it and your roomies' and you're good to go.
